PEGASUS:
Pegasus (Greek: Πήγασος, translit. Pḗgasos; Latin: Pegasus, Pegasos) is a winged horse in Greek mythology, usually depicted as a white stallion. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. Pegasus was the brother of Chrysaor, both born when their mother was decapitated by Perseus. Greco-Roman poets wrote about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus.
Pegasus is the creator of Hippocrene, the fountain on Mount Helicon. He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon, near the fountain Peirene, with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allowed Bellerophon to ride him in order to defeat the monster Chimera, which led to many more exploits. Bellerophon later fell from Pegasus's back while trying to reach Mount Olympus. Both Pegasus and Bellerophon were said to have died at the hands of Zeus for trying to reach Olympus. Other tales have Zeus bring Pegasus to Olympus to carry his thunderbolts.
Long honored as a constellation, Pegasus is a subject of very rich iconography, especially through ancient Greek pottery as well as paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance.
The original and rare, quinarius coin was minted in Rome by moneyer Q. Titius in 90 BC. The denarius coin was the principal denomination in the Roman Republic monetary system and the quinarius was valued at half a denarius. The quinarius was approximately 1 days pay for a Roman Soldier. Pegasus, the pure white winged divine stallion, is featured on this coin, springing to flight from an inscribed tablet. As the Romans conquered the Greek peninsula in the 3rd to 2nd century BC, they absorbed Greek mythology. In the original myths, Pegasus first set foot on Earth after his birth at Corinth, Greece. With the help of Athena who presented him with a golden bridle, a young Corinthian nobleman named Bellerophon captured Pegasus while he drank from a spring. He then tamed Pegasus so he could ride on its' back and defeat both the Chimera and the Amazons, tasks which would otherwise have been impossible for a mortal. The reverse of this coin shows the head of Victoria with wings on her back. In Roman religion, Victoria was the personification of Victory and was the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Nike. Victoria was a major part of Roman society and many temples were erected in her honor. She was a symbol of victory over death and determined who would be successful during war.
